CANNOT PAY INTEREST.
The Attorney Generals Opinion Regarding
the Deferred Payments to Contractors.

In making their contracts for the construction
of the additional insane hospitals the COM
missioners reserved the right to discontinue the
work whenever financial and other considera-
tons might justify such action. When the
funds in the State Treasury last fall became low,
it was the purpose to suspend work. but the con-
tractors preferred to continue rather than dis
miss their organized force of employees They
agreed to take their estimates approved and al
lowed for payment on future dates With this
understanding allowances were made up to Nov.
/, last year, for $l53 1871 but it was on cond-
ton that voucher of 500, $50 IS and another for
$53, COG. sc should not be presented to the Audi
tor of State until Jan. and Feb. 90 this year.
respectively. On these dates money sufficient to
pay them was expected to be in the treasury. The
contractors claimed interest on these deferred
payments, which the commissioners were not
willing to allow. They submitted theiquestion
to Attorney general Kitchener, who yesterday
gave an opinion that the commissioners had no
power to pay interest, as there is nothing III the
statute governing them that authorizes such
payment Whatever power the commissioners
have, he holds, is entirely within the statute
. that created them, and any agreement they may
make not in keeping with its provisions will be
void. He further holds that any interest paid
by any State officer board unless it is author
lied by statute would be invalid.

match. He furnished the match. and ,Stull
went into another room, and when he came out
five minutes later the room was in flames.
What have you donel" said Hilton. Keep
STILL was the reply, and the two then left the
house together and went to June's restaurant

at 10 o'clock this morning. The insurance COM
pany is represented by George A Adams, of
